Things seen and heard

“Hey, aren’t we going to a roadshow full of pretty girls?” received such an “invitation” from my friends who worked on mobile phones, but the plan did not work out because we were busy with other business trips, so we had to cancel the PG appointment.
Before the Lunar New Year, some of my friends in the industry lead and so I had the opportunity to “realize” the PG mobile profession with so many emotions that are hard to describe. I have many times attended the opening of phone showrooms and new product launch programs of mobile phone companies I also saw PGs “practicing” but never talked to them. The only thing I know about PGs: they are pretty, long-legged girls and have good manners. They also once participated in opening a showroom I have witnessed PGs having to “stiff” for an hour to model for customers and walk around frantically to attract customers to the product. That’s all I saw, but I still don’t know how happy it is to be a PG mobile!

“Being a PG, everyone is like that. The worst thing is wasting time going early and returning late at night like a shuttle. Sometimes, standing up makes their legs tired and guests even touch the person to see if they are a manequin or an impersonator. At that time, I just wanted to scream but still had to try to stand still to complete the program.” Thu Ha, a visual PG, cried out when she heard me talk about the PG profession. Ha is not a professional PG mobile person. But it seems that she has a good relationship with mobile phone companies, so a couple of times a year she is invited to “pose” and to absorb the hardships of being a PG mobile. “Professional PGs from cell phone companies also get paid for monthly makeup, but amateurs like me have to dig out of our own pockets to polish our faces. But the saddest thing is that someone who doesn’t understand the job tells me to work as a call girl. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel so sorry for myself.” Ha feels sad.
Can be divided into 2 types of PG mobile. One is the non-professional PG mobile (ie they are professionals hired to create images for new product launches and showroom openings… and their job is just to “pose” and not have contact with customers. ). The second type of PG is professional mobile PG. These girls are directly selected and trained by phone companies. In addition to creating an image, their main job is to provide consulting and sales support to agents and customers. PGs will be equipped with newly released phones for use by the company. However, the main purpose is for PGs to introduce to customers. After about 6 months to 1 year, those mobile phones will be collected and PGs will be given new mobile phones to continue working.

Ms. Hong Nhung, deputy leader of the Sales Support and Consulting team of FPT – Nokia shared: “We talked about it before. People are only used to talking about PG in wine or beer with girls with long legs and charming speech to convince customers… As for cell phones, it’s much different. The characteristic of mobile phones is that they are high-tech products, so in addition to the requirements for appearance and skillful behavior, you also have to invest a large amount of time in learning, cultivating and constantly updating your knowledge. product.”

A point of difference Another difference between PG mobile and PG of other professions is that the lifespan of PG mobile is often much higher. Girls who are recruited to work as professional mobile PGs often stay for 3 to 5 years, while other jobs often have to rush and work seasonally. “Actually, it’s just due to the nature of the profession. We sell high-tech products, so to do the job, we first have to spend a long time learning about the products. Once you have the knowledge, you can introduce the product to customers,” Hong Nhung said.
Unforgettable memories

My story with Mobile Promotion Girls really became interesting when asked about the memorable memories of the profession they have experienced. . The days of traveling around the provinces across the country will be one of the most beautiful memories in life for FPT Nokia’s PGs. We would also like to emphasize that at FPT Nokia, these long-legged girls are called by a “professional” name and are much friendlier than the PG name that everyone knows. That is Consultant Sales (consultation and sales support) and they often call each other “police team” to make it easier to remember.
These “long legs” said that every time they reschedule their appointments, twice a year, about a month later, they go on the road to “disperse” people. traveling all over the country to support agents (roadshow). “We are divided into many teams, each agent will have 2 people to support each team to go to 2-3 provinces and each province we only work for 3 days, the travel time between provinces is usually at night. Every time we come to a dealership, our first job is to support the dealer’s display. The job seems simple, but if you’re not skillful and meticulous, you can’t do it,” they shared.

Daily work usually starts from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. Night time is sometimes even later. Lunch usually only lasts a few dozen minutes so it’s quite frugal and rushed. In addition to providing sales consulting to agents, these “long legs” also have to complete another task: interacting and receiving agents in each area they go through.

“This job is fun but expensive.”

After long days of work, whether difficult or strenuous, many It’s been difficult, but they are really proud to be part of the “NOKIA Sales Ghost” team, as their colleagues jokingly call it.
And for amateur mobile PGs like Thu Ha, the times of “standing up” also leave behind many unforgettable memories. . “One time, when I came home from a new product demonstration, my parents were frightened to see that my whole body was yellow and ulcerated, my hair was torn and the tassels stood up, and my younger sister cried out loud…” Ha happily said. “But it was impressive.” The most important thing is still the feeling of ecstasy and desire when directly touching the newly released phones. I have a habit of being passionate about technology gadgets. So every time I get to pose for mobile companies, I love it because I get to hold the newest and extremely modern products. One time, I was so engrossed in looking at the mobile phone in my hand that I forgot it was my turn to perform. The manager had to shout through the microphone three times before I could leave.”
Where to go
>
Many people say that the PG profession is a silver lining because beauty is available. Normally, people who work as PGs will stay in the profession for about 1 to 2 years, some people only change jobs after 3 to 5 years… I know a girl who has worked as a PG mobile for 2 years. After “retiring” she returned to her hometown to work as the owner of a clothing store in a district town. Mentioning the profession Huyen (the name of the character I am talking about) just laughed: “I entered the profession very early when I was only 18 years old. At first, he went to “pose” for new product launches for about a year, then returned to work at a phone supermarket.
Previously, I advertised for the products of some cell phone companies. But then, at an age that chases away spring, one cannot last long in the profession when one’s beauty begins to decline. Then she returned to her hometown to get married and ended her Buddhist career there.” After saying that, she pointed to the red Samsung S500 phone that her 1.5-year-old son was playing with in his hand: “That’s the result. After two years of working, paying for housing, electricity, water, food, and makeup, I still had enough to buy it. Now it has become a memento of my PG days.”
Silver is silver, many people have to find another job after they retire, but many people also have certain positions in the company after a period of striving and training. Ms. Cao Minh Trang (captain of FPT Nokia CS team) said: “According to regulations, PGs will have a working period of 3 years at the company and they will fully enjoy all benefits stated in the labor contract. There are also additional fees such as monthly phone bills, make-up fees, etc. Depending on the PG’s body shape. If after marriage you do not give birth or after giving birth you still maintain your figure, you will continue to be accepted back. There are people who have been practicing PG for 5 or 6 years.
For the rest, move to another department or find another suitable job. For example, LanNT is currently the number 2 sales department, LienMB is the number 1 sales department, some of you go to Nokia FPT Showroom; Hoa is currently working as a sales manager for Mango…” Even many girls have found happiness with an agent owner after going on roadshows and naturally became mobile phone store owners.

Finally, I would like to borrow the words of a former PG mobile to conclude Ends this article: “Being a mobile PG is much more interesting than other PG professions because you learn and come into contact with the most advanced technology products. But take the time to learn so that after your career is over, you can do something else.
